What is a typical working day like at Bath & Body Works?

Amazing management, they care about their employees, offer great benefits, focus on customer experience, and encourage promotion, easy to pick up shifts, store manager demonstrates the company values and "behaviors to win".

Scheduling is not always consistent, but is out 2 weeks before your shift so you know!

They hire even you dont have an experience at all in retail

they hire alot that time shift are very limited and can't give much to each person

The pay is good compared to other retail places.

You never know what time you are getting off. You may be scheduled off at 2:00 pm, but they can randomly require you to stay up to 2 hours more each shift.

Flexible working hours with a great team

You have to basically be standing your whole shift which can be very tiring

Only 30 min break for 8hr shift

You dont get a lot of shift

3-4 hour night shifts so I could work it around my other job

A bit disorganized at times

Schedules (every Saturday, Night Shift for multiple floorsets every month, early morning for receiving orders) Having multiple offsite storages with ridiculous amount of products. Hard to keep an eye on inventory and you’re always running around between offsite during peak season because you’re main backstore is ridiculously too small. Micro management from district manager Brainwash nation Floorsets are way too intense every month you have to move every single product from shelves and tables and under stock and then your store is a mess for at least a week with baskets full of products ready to pack up but you don’t have time to do it.

discount on products and short shifts

terrible training, headaches from all the scents, expected to ask if needed longer than 3 hour shift instead of manager asking you.

I use the products Bath & Body sells so being able to get good discounts on candles, body care products, soap, etc. was a perk of working there. My coworkers were some of the best coworkers I've had and management was also great! I was also promoted pretty quickly. From associate to cash lead within 4 months of employment and shortly after I was promoted to a temporary key holder which came with a minimum of 30 hours and week and a small pay raise.

The short shifts ended up being the reason I left. Around the holidays, you get a bunch of hours but afterwards, for months I might add, hours are significantly reduced and you may see only 1 shift for the week. The shifts could be a minimum of 3 hours with the option of an extension if necessary. This means that you're only going to be scheduled for 3 hours but if somebody calls off your shift could get extended to 5 hours to help cover their shift. This coupled with having just 1 shift a week didn't helping pay the bills and I had to get a second job to make ends meet. LOW PAY!!!! The minimum pay was about $13 an hour and unless you were a manager, nobody was making over $15 an hour! They over hired, at least at my location. They would hire way more people than necessary which meant about 90 people had to share shifts. If too many people were there, even though the shifts were just 3 hours long, you could still get sent home early because they wouldn't have the payroll if the store wasn't busy.

Lots of free product, easy-going environment, EASY TO USE POS SYSTEM!

Floorsets (setting the store up for new products/seasons) happen WAY too often and management does not do enough in advance to make it efficient. You're often scheduled for a 5 hour shift that ends up being more like 8 (1 or 2 in the morning!).
